Tomorrow is America Recycles Day! Recycling plays an important part in achieving goals for plastic waste reduction and improved sustainability in packaging – but there are many misconceptions about plastic recycling that can have negative implications on the effectiveness of the recycling system. This month, the CAP Pack is talking with Kate Bailey, Chief Policy Officer at the Association of Plastic Recyclers, to get some answers to common questions about plastic recycling - Does recycling work? How effective is it? What is the truth behind the recycling rates? What is actually meant to be recycled? We talk all about the misconceptions about plastic recycling, and get to the bottom of these questions from an expert. Listen to the episode to hear for yourself: https://hubs.ly/Q02XHh1C0
